The Old Woman's Stone, a subject of many myths and legends, is a natural monument with a geomorphological character located in the village of Dritan-Dobroshec, in the municipality of Drenas, at the foot of the Qyqyvica mountain massif.
The stone was split by a French company in 1936 during the construction of the Pristina-Peja railway, which has been in operation for over 80 years.
According to oral traditions passed down by the villagers of Gradice and Godanc, it is said that a neighborhood or family of forty members once lived near the Old Woman's Stone. During the Slavic invasion, 80 people were killed in a conflict, leaving only an elderly woman and her two nephews to survive the incident.
The story continues that the elderly woman, along with her nephews, cattle, sheep, and goats, sought refuge near the stone. Legend says she spent the rest of her life living there until her passing.
In Kosovo, myths and legends are often crafted and shaped by the imaginations and traditions of its people, adding layers of mystique to landmarks such as the Old Woman's Stone.
